Discussions have revolved around setting aside $100,000 for grants that nonprofits would apply for and meet criteria set by the federal government. For example, nonprofits will have to show financial hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic and how the agency’s use of ARPA funds will benefit a significant portion of the community.
Land off of Napier Field Road has been secured through the Industrial Development Board of the City of Dothan . The undeveloped land stretches from behind Coca-Cola and Gresco Utility Supply all the way to Lingo Road. An entrance road would be constructed from Napier Field Road. Dothan Area Chamber of Commerce President Matt Parker said the IDB is ready to move forward with the project.
